I know that people can double pricing, but i really wasnt expecting those high prices. the labor and balance of services sounded fair. but the pricing mark up really rubbed me the wrong way. the big kicker was i took the car in because it wasnt starting all the time. i had some work done on it including a fuel pressure something or nother, vaccum hose and a sensor. they test drove the car, everything, ran well. happy camper. two weeks later my car didnt want to start. i asked the mechanic if they can look at it again (for no charge) to see if it was related to the work they did (and obviously i knew this could be a new problem, because i have an older car). the mechanic brought up my paper work and said that they had done x, y and z on the car, didnt mention the fuel pressure. and said that what was happening to my car was that it wasnt getting fuel or didnt have a spark. but they did not offer to take it in and look at it, saying that it would've been a different problem. when i mentioned the fuel pressure thing, they said 'oh, well we did those things not because they were causing the car to stall (originally) but because they were the only things that stood out as need of major repair.' I was disappointed because i wasnt asking them to fix the possibly new issue, but i felt like they were being shady. and then i asked (to gage the situation) what it would cost to get my car's oil changed. they said (paper work in front of them) that depending on my car's filter it could be $50. i got my oil changed a more local mechanic's for $30. i guess i couldnt help but feel that... they werent being upfront and honest with me. when i told my friend that recommended them, she said that they should've at least looked at the car again. that would be the professional thing to do. having this single experience with them, i would not go back again nor would i recommend the place. I would like to have more experiences to judge them on, but i dont want to risk spending more money or having more related issues with my car. :oP

Charlton messaged me back within 15 minutes. I explained that my throttle dashboard light came on, and Charlton said I might need the $70.00 diagnostic test to turn it off and determine the throttle problem. Charlton also asked me about the size of my engine. I scheduled an appointment and canceled it because the throttle light went out. Perhaps it was the below-freezing temperature and my attempt to drive my vehicle without sufficiently warming it up that prompted the throttle light to come on, I will definitely contact C & A when my vehicle does need servicing. I appreciated the messaging that helped me determine what my vehicle needed. What's valuable? The excellent customer service in fielding my throttle concerns is worth noting.

Fortunately for…read moreme, unfortunately for my kid, I knew all about these wanna-be mechanics from a few years back. Long story short - their head mechanic didn't know how to check oil properly on her Nissan crossover? (name escapes me) Three times in the shop and they tell her the oil is over full. I go in, act dumb and ask if they could show me how to check the oil since I got blamed for it anyway "your dad is over filling it" Stooge pulls dip stick and proclaims "see overfill again by twice" Me - "flip that dip stick over" Dude had no words because the other side had NOTHING on it because they drained 5 quarts the day before because "it was overfilled" I promptly asked the gentleman "if you toss a stick in a bucket of oil, is it possible to only get oil on one side of said stick?" Note: these cars/engines have an oil drain back hole directly above the dip stick which covers it with oil several inches up the stick, on one side. Even a moron knows to wipe the stick and reinstall to check and look at both sides. A not-so-certified village idiot should know these cars are best checked after they have sat awhile, regardless this poor village idiot was happy to run out 5 minutes after we arrived and check it without ever having a towel in mind. Way to go imbecile. Needless to say, it never left the place and the motor was hammering because they told her to run it and I want putting oil in it again for them to blame me for overfilling. A few days later we stopped in and find in an attempt to get the warranty co to pay for a motor, they blew it up. The one lucky actually told us what they were doing. Obviously totally oblivious to the fact he was saying they were trying to commit insurance fraud. Good luck if you go here or if, like my kid, AutoMax sends you here because their shop is backed up. These geniuses will fix your vehicle right up like Dewey, Cheatum & Howe, attorneys at law would fix you up on legal issues. Well, that statement isn't fair. The 3 stooges deserve more credit than that when it comes to being lawyers.

I had a terrible experience with Emory, and I feel completely let down…read more About two months ago, I was told I needed a new transmission. A friend who owns a garage recommended Emory, so I took my car there. They replaced the transmission for $7,500. Roughly a month later, while driving home from work, my power steering suddenly locked up right after getting off the highway. I had to pull over on a secluded road and wait 90 minutes for a tow truck. The car was towed to a nearby dealership for inspection. A couple of days later, the dealership called and asked if my transmission had recently been replaced. They informed me that the power steering line had not been secured when the subframe was reinstalled--which caused all the fluid to leak out. This led to a $258 repair. I obtained photos and the damaged part from the dealership and reached out to Emory. The owner was polite but denied responsibility, claiming they had worked on a different part of the engine. However, he asked me to come by so we could look at it together. When I mentioned that the dealership had confirmed the subframe must be removed to replace the transmission, his tone and body language changed. He called over a technician, who said he couldn't remember the specific car. After a pause, the owner offered to "split it" with me. At that point, I agreed, just wanting to be done with the whole situation after multiple trips and phone calls. He said he'd mail a check in a week since he didn't have the money on hand. Two weeks and four follow-up calls later, he told me I'd have to come pick it up in person. By then, I felt completely taken advantage of. I had simply asked for Emory to take full responsibility and cover the $258 repair--I never asked for compensation for the time I spent stranded or all the follow-ups I had to make. His final response to me was, "I'm sorry you feel that way." So in the end, Emory only covered half the cost of a mistake that was clearly theirs. I lost $128, 90 minutes on the side of the road, and several hours of my time chasing answers. I know Emory has a good reputation, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend them. I've already told my friend to stop referring anyone to this shop.
